The United Way KFL&A campaign crossed the 2 million mark one week earlier than the previous year thanks to the hard work and support of volunteers and donors. To date $2,013,943 has been raised. This represents 59% of the $3,418,000 goal that was announced at the Campaign kick-off on September 10, 2013.
“Thank you to our many dedicated volunteers and supporters in the KFL&A area,” said United Way President & CEO, Bhavana Varma. “With 41% to go, individual donors and workplaces are encouraged to report their results and send their donations to United Way.”
There is time to donate and support local programs. The 2013 campaign will wrap up on November 29 with a Touchdown Breakfast at the Ambassador Resort. Last year, United Way funded programs helped 85,000 people in our community. For more information or to donate, please visit www.unitedwaykfla.ca.
